On October 31 1981 the Potter family's lives were forever changed. Harry James Potter became the boy-who-lived, but that was not the only thing to happen that night. His twin sister Lara disappeared and was presumed dead. The family hasn't been t...
We see an aerial shot of a large forest, in the distance are several mountains and grassy clearings. Suddenly a blur of white flies past, the camera then changes to this mystery blur's view as it soars above the trees like a bird before suddenly diving through the treetops. The camera then changes again to a shot of the ground, we see the shadow of a bird appear on the ground before it morphs into the shadow of a human.
Larinda Ravenclaw: "Well everyone, this is our new home."
A 20 year old Lara walks through the forest for several minutes until she comes across the ruins of an old building. The building is overgrown, windows are missing or broken, the stone walls have crumbled or collapsed, the place is a mess.
Larinda Ravenclaw: "Ravenclaw Manor. This was where you grew up isn't it, Aunt Rowena? Where Grandmother ruled for centuries before she died?" She quietly says, delicately running her hand across the ancient stone walls.

"That's Ravenclaw Manor? I was expecting something more...impressive." Sirius frowns in disappointment.
"Well, it probably looked more impressive when it wasn't overgrown and ruined." Flitwick points out.
"Why would a queen live in some boring old manor when she could have a palace or a castle." Lavender and Parvati pout.
"Perhaps it's not part of their culture to have their monarchs live in something so grand." McGonagall suggests.
Athena flies in and lands on her shoulder, while Archimedes appears in a burst of fire before flying off to inspect his new home. Lara spent the next few hours exploring the ruined manor, taking note of the intricate design, styles and architecture that must have been commonplace in Elf culture. After exploring the manor she decides to explore more of the forest.
Larinda Ravenclaw: "If this is where the queen lived then there must have been a village nearby."
Half an hour later she finds the remains of a village. Lara is overwhelmed by an aura of pain and sorrow. She fights back tears as she sees the remains of homes, farms, schools and more. She sobs uncontrollably when she finds the skeletal remains of an adult elf cradling their child.
Mothers sob, imagining how scared they would have been in a similar situation. Lily can only imagine what would have happened had it been her not Charlus that sacrificed themself that Halloween night.
After exploring the surrounding land she returns to the manor.
Larinda Ravenclaw: "I can see why our people chose to live here, despite all the pain and sorrow I can feel the pure magical energy in my surroundings. Plus, no matter what anyone says this is sovereign territory, the Ministry and ICW have no authority here." She smiles.
